Distracted – On Dangerous Ground.(Network Rail)

We’re doing all we can to keep people safe near level crossings and on the railway in general. These short films illustrate some of the dangers of not taking care at level crossings and trespassing on the railway.

We’re working closely with the British Transport Police and train operators to reduce incidents across the network, using covert surveillance to catch offenders and visiting schools to warn children of the dangers at level crossings and going on the railway.

We can’t tackle this issue alone. We’re urging parents and young people to take a reality check when it comes to level crossings and trespass. It’s not a game: they are real tracks, with real trains and real life-changing consequences.

If you’re a parent, carer, or work with young people please help us by talking to your kids about the dangers of not paying attention at level crossing or going on the tracks.
